Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The scattered creasing appears inherent to the artist’s chosen medium. Under very close inspection, a few pinpoint brown spot accretions are visible in the upper left, near the top of the right edge and in the center of the left quadrant, and there is insect residue at the lower right edge. There are artist’s holes at the top two corners from which the work is suspended with dowels. Framed in a Plexiglas box. Please note this work has not been examined outside of its box.

Catalogue Note
"I read the word in Dante. Hoarfrost is like a mock frost, but it's a warning about the change of seasons...[I was] actually trying to dematerialize the surface as much as I could so that you had a sense of the fabric being there so light would have something to fall on."
